I've been seeing these origin accounts on ebay for a while now, and they have TS4 at awfully cheap prices ($7 to $10) I really wanna get TS4 but I don't have much money, and these eBay accounts seem perfect. Now, I've checked some of the sellers, and there's tons of good feedback (on the product itself, not buying) saying "awesome, worked, thanks!" However I still have my doubts. I'm only 13, I don't really have much money. BTW guys here's two links to one of the products: https://www.ebay.ph/itm/The-Sims-4-...f8AAOSwtDdacaqJ and https://www.ebay.ph/itm/The-Sims-4-...MIAAOSwpw1afHxt Thanks!

I have used a good few of those recommended sellers on ebay and amazon who have long lists of great, positive feedback - adding to the feedback with my own praising comments. So, yeah, I've bought a number of dirt-cheap, legitimate codes for games via this method. So my own experience says go for it.

I was sorely tempted to looking into how to purchase bundles of cheap game codes from publishers and go into business myself doing the same thing. You've probably got to watch the publishers like a hawk and go into bidding wars with competitors for the code bundles when they're released for sale from said publishers, I should imagine.

These publishers know there are large groups of people who will never buy software at full asking price or at half price, even on huge sales. In this day and age a digital download is a digital download, so the publishers know how to get your money in the end, whatever the price range you want to spend.

I can already tell you it's against their policy without even reading their policy. Steam doesn't allow it either, and I'm sure Ubisoft doesn't either.
Whether or not people actually follow this policy is up to them though. It's their account after all. If you sell yours, that's fine, but if something goes wrong, you're not eligible for any support.

The Sims 4! Weirder Sims! Aren't they weird!? Look how weird they are! Bet you can't wait to see how weird their stories are!?

Speaking from my own experience, if you're looking to buy a sims 4 origin ACCOUNT I strongly advise you not to. I did, back in the day thinking it was a cheap out. The seller had loads of good rep. (turned out those reviews were fake). They hack account and sell them for cheap on ebay. You get the account, change the pw and secret question and think you're home free. The original user of the account contacts EA and gets their account back, you're left with nothing but frustration.
I reported the seller and tried to get a hold of the original owner of the account to apologize ( I legit thought it was a legit goddamn account, but it was clear it wasn't once I had gotten on to the account).

I went ahead and bought the game itself instead. So yeah, if you're buying the sims 4 GAME code, then perhaps. I still recommend something like instant-gaming rather than origin. But do not buy sims 4 ACCOUNT codes.

Buying cheap game keys from sites like G2A generally also is a bad idea. It's a grey market and it's no secret that most of these sites sell stolen or otherwise illegally obtained keys. So not only would you be locking the developers of the game out of their profit, you'd also essentially be paying criminals. I always recommend buying legitimately if you want to keep the moral high ground.

If it were in any way, shape or form illegal, then how is it that longstanding, respected sellers, legitimate outlet sites such as ebay/amazon and the game produces themselves have not, at any stage, gone into a nuclear war in the courtrooms?

Buying from (most) noteworthy sellers via noteworthy outlets is giving noteworthy software producers their just profits. No need for a crisis of moral conscience. Being thrifty and shopping around does no put you in league with Lucifer. More risk involved of getting a dud code? Yeah, sure. More hassle to get your cash back? Of course. Lest you really are dealing with a top notch seller - who do exist. About the only thing you pay premium for is believing you will evade those two pitfalls. Then just take a look at the likes of Origin's records for fluffing up sales and non-working downloads. If you've suffered that at the hands of Origin, you're likely to believe it can't be much worse taking other avenues. Certainly much cheaper. So no Thou Shalt Feel Like A Guilty Criminal for doing such.

Origin offers Sims 4 on sale from time to time at a small sum compared to the original cost. Me, I'd get it from them first before going to a second hand dealer or one dealing with keys. Feels dishonest somehow, like it's gaming the system.
